"Stop! A Handy Monitor, Pocket Conscience and Portable Guardian against the World, the Flesh and the Devil" by Mentor is a self-help guide that aims to provide moral advice and practical wisdom to readers. Written in the late 19th century, the book emphasizes the importance of thoughtful living and self-regulation in various aspects of life, such as choosing a vocation, handling money matters, and managing relationships. Its format suggests it serves as a personal handbook for moral guidance. The book is structured into chapters that deal with several key areas of life, providing instructions and caveats for young men entering adulthood. Each section encourages readers to pause and reflect before taking action—whether in career choices, romantic engagements, financial decisions, or personal conduct. For example, it advises against impulsivity in love, emphasizes the value of honesty in business, and underscores the need for self-control in all areas. Mentor’s approach combines humor with serious admonitions, making it engaging while imparting essential life lessons that remain relevant even today. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 60.8 (8th & 9th grade). Neither easy nor difficult to read.
